Life Sentence for Shooter at 50 Cent Film

Friday, October 20, 2006
By: Kenny Rodriguez


Photo UnavailableThe man who fired a gun in a Pittsburgh movie theater - prompting a premature pulling of 50 Cent's film "Get Rich Or Die Tryin" - has been sentenced to life in prison.

Larue Taron Graves, 31, was convicted of third-degree murder for the November 2005 shooting death of Shelton Flowers, 30, at the Loews Cineplex in West Homestead, which had just finished showing a screening of 50's film.

The movie theater immediately pulled the movie, assuming the incident was sparked by violence in the film. Police later learned that the shooting stemmed from an old prison dispute.

Graves and Flowers, who were former prison rivals, ran into each other in the men's room, and an argument escalated into the lobby area where Flowers was shot twice.

Although Graves was convicted of third-degree murder - not usually grounds for a life sentence - he also faced a mandatory life sentence from a previous voluntary manslaughter conviction.

Lisa Middleman, Graves' public defender, said she plans to appeal, contending that Graves shot Flowers in the leg with no intent to kill him.

It is so funny how thge immediate thought was .........it's the violence in the film. That is so typical and to discover that it was totally unrelated. How many more of those mistakes have gone unrectified then?

It is ashamed that this issue deals with a person's life and so many people feel that it is a joke and something to be made fun of. This man had a mother, he had children, he had cousins, friends and other relatives. He was a human being that was murdered while going out to a movie to be entertained. He was loved and will be missed by those that loved him. This is a sad example of life in america in the 21st century. Mass media has an effect on the subconscious minds of the viewers whether we want to believe it or not. Don't believe the hype! we are what we eat, drink, hear and see... Be on guard for all of the things that enter into your mind, body and soul. If you want to take chances by allowing negative imagery enter into your world - -then you have to be ready to deal with the consequences and the universal laws of karma.... Shelton will always be missed and loved. He lived a life in the streets, but he changed his life. It is ashamed that mindless people don't have a life and don't care about life. The young, african american men in pittsburgh need to wake up and read about the statistics of what is really going on and stop the genocide. Shelton is one with our creator now. The place that we all must go... May god bless his soul and the many other souls that need to be blessed in this lifetime. I am going to continue to pray for our brothers.. How will you choose to live your life and make a difference in this world? stop hating and start loving. Love is a beautiful thing...
